Hey Ken   I recognize that take off picture..... I do believe I gave that picture to Jim when he was here at my home one time. LOL Honestly I was Proud to have it and give it to him. Just as happy as he was when I handed it to him that day.   hee hee I never knew one of my Photos would got world wide one day 30years later.   still love that Nasty Car.... the only other name that could describe that Hornet would have been WICKED WONDER.   That AMC made us all proud back in the early 80's

this was MY First Hornet back in the day.   I bought it wrecked and had to re-do the passengers side as the previous owner hit a guard rail and swipped it from front to read all the way down   Took this picture after I finished it

The best part is we know where the car is and we are keeping track of it. Jim would love to get it back out in to the light of day. We just have to convince the current owner.

If you are talking about my Hornet it no longer exists. Unfortunately it suffered from an early life in PEI, and that means a rust environment second to none. After 1800 trans brake passes the poor thing was suffering structural fatigue compounded by structural rust, and was coming apart at the seams. It was actually bending in the middle. So I scrapped it. The good news is a bunch of the parts are still running in another Hornet. That particular picture was on film, taken by a good friend - that was a while ago.

Or is there another Ken and I'm stupidly confused?

Ken,

Confused? You? Never. Randy is talking about the "Nasty Nash" from Ohio. It set several world records back in the late 70s and we have been keeping track of it.
